our embryo city-Payette. TIL
Fourth of July, 1887, was celebrat
ed at Payette in manner that vii
not soon be forgotten. The day
bright and beautiful, was usheret
in mid the laundering of guns, thu
shout of enthusiasm, and the rush
of men. From the various houses
flags foated in the morning air, and
far above them all-from Liberty
Hill-could be seen the grand old
stars and stripes, marking the eel
ebration ground, where large pre-
p9-ations had been made.
On the afternoon of the 3rd, dele
cations from Weiser, Emmett, Pay
ette Valley, Falk's Store, Paddock
Valley and Huntington, began to
arrive and throng our pleasant
streets-in short, the yeomanry,
the beauty, and the chivalry of our
adjacent towns and valleys had
come thus early to assist in our
celebration.
The morning of the Fourth, how
ever, demonstrated the fact that our
preparations for crowd had not
been in vain. AS the morning
train rolled into the depot, the
platforms were alive with the
bright, the gay and the beautiful,
all coming to celebrate. Our re-
ception committee received and
extended cordial greeting to :
Nampa, Caldwell, Notus, Parma
and Ontario, as delegations from !,
all these points were aboard. ;,
Caldwell monopolized one car her.
